Description
Equine Scar Tissue
Scar tissue and adhesions can severely limit a horse’s mobility, comfort, and long-term soundness. This advanced-level online course is designed for equine professionals who want to enhance their clinical expertise in recognising, assessing, and treating these often-overlooked issues.
You’ll explore the biological and biomechanical nature of scar tissue, understand the different phases of wound healing, and examine how adhesions can disrupt movement patterns and tissue health. Through detailed video tutorials, printable technique charts, and a case-study-led portfolio, you’ll learn safe, effective manual therapy strategies to support tissue remodelling and restore mobility.
With modules on assessment techniques, complementary modalities, and movement-based rehabilitation planning, this course delivers a practical and clinically informed approach to equine scar management. Whether working with post-surgical horses, those recovering from trauma, or cases of long-standing restriction, you’ll gain the tools to improve functional outcomes and comfort.
UKRS-accredited and fully online, this course offers the flexibility to study at your own pace while earning professional CPD and expanding your treatment skillset.
